The College of Education and External Studies (CEES), Makerere University in collaboration with the Global e-Schools and Communities Initiative (GESCI) and the University of Notre Dame’s Global Centre for the Development of the Whole Child (GC-DWC) is conducting a study to internalize and translate the existing learning assessment into policy and practice in Uganda through the Adapting assessment into policy and learning (ADAPT) : Adolescent 21st Century Skills Project.

This research project is working towards achieving the following objectives :

  • Generate lessons from past and present national and regional learning assessments and initiatives to enhance national data-driven decision making.
  • Build capacity of a dynamic learning community to integrate and assess 21st century skills and support utilisation of learning assessments at the school and sub-national (district/county/region) levels.
  • Mobilise policy uptake on the utilization of learning assessments in the education plans, curriculum frameworks and teacher development.

The project launch in Uganda is set to take place at Makerere University from 9 :00 am – 12 :30 pm EAT.

The ADAPT project is funded by the Global partnership for Education (GPE) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) under the Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIX) program.
